Intergenerational Sketching
for people of all ages who are able to draw

• To encourage people to think "intergenerationally" and reveal their experience and imagination on paper.

Steps:

• Provide participants with drawing supplies.  For examples, paper, pencils, crayons, markers, scissors, glue and other paper decoration supplies.
• Ask participants to think about activities they do -- or might like to do -- with people in other age groups.  If needed, prompt them to think about various arts and crafts, dancing, cooking, computing, gardening, and other activities.
• Have participants draw scenes of activities in which there is intergenerational exchange.
